Samsung are preparing to release Galaxy Tab soon. It is expected to be a huge hit for Android and new tablet fans. It will cost around £599 and is considered to be the main competitor to the iPad. The Galaxy Tab has a 7” screen which is smaller than the iPad’s 9.7”. They both have a 1Ghz process but the Samsung Galaxy Tab has a 3.1MP back camera and a 1.3MP front camera so could this be the thing that gives the Galaxy Tab the edge? Will loyal Apple fans dump the iPad for the Galaxy Tab? Read more...

A few days ago, we showed you how to install Froyo Android 2.2 (JPC build) on a Samsung Galaxy S. A lot of users root Android phones to gain additional features and run apps that aren’t allowed to run normally. Rooting also allows you to install the One Click Lag Fix app that removes even the slightest lags you might encounter while using a Galaxy S, making it the fastest Android phone out there. It scores a staggering 2100-2300 points in Quadrant benchmark when running the official Android 2.1 build with LagFix installed. We showed you how to root Android 2.1 on Galaxy S in a previous post. In this post, you’ll learn how to root Android 2.2 on Galaxy S. Read more...

A new beta build of Android 2.2 codenamed Froyo is making rounds on the Internet. I found it on XDA and decided to give it a go on my Samsung Galaxy S which was running the latest official JM1 Android 2.1 build. So far, I’m really pleased with the performance and improvements in this version. Having used the previous Froyo JPC ROM for Galaxy S, I can say that things are improving. GPS works better as well as the browser. Everything is just smoother than before and dare I say, it’s even useable without a lagfix although being an iPhone user, I can’t stand even the smallest of lags so I’ve got it up and running with One Click Lag Fix 1.0.
